Board Artists
In May of 2014, I participated in a panel about storyboarding for the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles. The panel took place at the Victory Theater in Burbank and included storyboard artists Le Tang, Justin Ridge, Steve Ahn, and myself. This is the second part of the video, the first part of which you can view here.

Buy This Book!
I cant believe it! It's been more than a year since it's release, and though I've made mention of it before, I've never made an "official" blog post about the release of my book Professional Storyboarding: Rules of Thumb, published by Focal Press (a leading publisher of instructional manuals dealing with art and technology).
It is co-authored by Sergio Paez, a storyboard artist who has worked on shows like Clone Wars, and runs the online storyboard community StoryboardArt.org . He brings his own perspective to the book with years of experience working and teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The book was intended to be a realistic guide to working in the storyboard industry, warts and all. Aside from covering what you'd expect in a storyboard book --like composition and film grammar, the intention was also to address the differences in the many kinds of storyboarding there are, since "storyboarding" is kind of a blanket term that is used to describe several different jobs that serve very different purposes (depending on the audience --which can be anything from an animator in a foreign country to an account executive to a film crew). The book features interviews from working storyboard artists (Benton Jew, Josh Sheppard, Sherm Cohen, Jeff Zugale) to get a no-holds barred look at what working in this industry is really like.
The book is available at Focal Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other fine establishments!

As mentioned before, I'll be part of a panel presented by the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles. I'll be bringing along some samples of my work in the form of storyboard-to-film-comparison clips. Here's a taste:
I'll be slowly releasing these videos right here on my blog over the course of several weeks. Keep an eye open!

It's been a very busy year! Lots of cool projects I've been working on I wish I could tell you about, but one of the things about being a storyboard artist is that you can't always talk about what you're working on until a few years later when the project is done!
